Produktbeschreibung
Poetry is to theology, As rain is to cloud, A foundational essence. These opening lines from the author's poem Protector recall for us the motivation, the purpose and the insights that inspire the new collection of poems in this volume. The poems - like the author's previous collections - also remind us that here is a poet who combines rare gifts of theology and faith to see beyond any focused tradition to discover the gifts and purposes of God in the daily experiences of life and nature. The everyday experiences are immediately reflected in the titles of the poems. They are about life and loss, family and friendship, hope and despair, encounter and healing. They reflect the depth of the ordinary, the mystery of the everyday, the invitation to engage, consider, respond.

Autorenporträt
Denham Grierson, Uniting Church Minister and retired academic, agrees with the claim that poetry is the music of time. Not just now time but universal time, an enterprise that seeks to hold the elusiveness of our inner experience, the attempt to grasp sunlight that for a moment illumines the mystery of our being. Poets also read books, play golf, listen to music, garden spasmodically. But always with an ear to the music of time and its timeless magic.
